Walking along the nature trail

 

Nature Trail Bridge

 Over the creek and through the woods… and grandmother lives in Milwaukee, wanna fight about it?

Deer on the Trail

 What is this I see?  Six deer in the grass by the nature trail.  This mini woods is in the middle of the city and surrounded by houses and buildings on all sides.  I would have expected to see homeless hanging out here (like by Gray’s Lake) more than deer.

 

Deer in field

 Oh, you see me too?  I was real careful not to make any sudden movements.  These young deer were so urbanized they not only hung out beside us two for 10 minutes, but a couple of them almost walked right up to us.

 Let’s get a move on.  The horny deer furthest to the right tries to mount the one ahead of it.

 

Trail

Each deer looks and pauses before crossing.  Smart.

 

Deer Running

 The deer run through the field along the trail up towards the busy street.  I’m not sure where they went or if they crossed, but I didn’t see any blood in the street the next day.

They’ve been running around the area lately, getting more confident with all things human created. We saw a few of them once again in a nearby parking lot. Unfortunately we just saw a young deer dead off the side of the road early this week. Hopefully either the rest learned a lesson or animal control will drop them off outside the city.
